Personally, I'll take a pass.
Apologies to non Facebook members, but I could not find another link.

Oh dear.
Was doing something similar last weekend out in the Phoenix area, but not as much drop off. LOL

I wouldn't walk that trail, much less ride a bike on it.

I sent this to an old riding acquaintance, and he replied asking if I realized it was CGI.
I'm a tech guru and I had to look that up...computer generated imaging.

 

[RandallS]

CGI makes sense, as that looks absolutely wacko. However, i do have a buddy who might have done that 40 years ago...

Wow, that first 30 second or so That's got to be the MTB equivalent of free climbing.

The quality isn't great but having spent the better part of a decade working in VFX I'll go out on a limb and say it's 100% real.

We'll, it's cool enough to forward along. Gives you the willies.
My BIL did take me up on some hillside traverse trails like that that were REALLY narrow, with a lot of rock outcroppings you had to go over. You just have to keep moving. The problem is if you make a mistake, you go off the trail and down the embankment. It's one thing on a 50lb mountain bike, a whole 'nother with a 250lb dirtbike. Some of the latter get left in the bush till you can get a retrieval team going.
